What is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)?
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is the medical term for an infection and inflammation of the female reproductive organs, often caused by sexually transmitted bacteria such as Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It typically affects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, leading to symptoms like lower abdominal or pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, fever, and irregular menstrual bleeding. If left untreated, PID can result in serious complications including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. Early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are essential to prevent long-term damage.
Symptoms of PID
Some common symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID):
Lower abdominal or pelvic pain – often persistent and dull
Unusual vaginal discharge – may be yellow or green with an unpleasant odor
Pain during intercourse – especially deep pelvic pain
Painful urination – burning or discomfort while urinating
Irregular menstrual bleeding – such as spotting between periods or heavy periods
Fever and chills – sometimes accompanied by nausea
Fatigue – feeling generally unwell or tired
Pain in the upper right abdomen – in rare cases, if the infection spreads to the liver (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome)
Some women with PID may experience only mild symptoms or none at all, which is why regular screening for STIs is important.
Causes Of PID
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) usually develops from untreated infections that spread from the vagina or cervix to the upper reproductive organs.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) – Most commonly caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Multiple Sexual Partners – Increases the risk of exposure to infection.
Unprotected Sex – Higher chance of transmitting or acquiring harmful bacteria.
Previous PID History – Past infections can increase the likelihood of recurrence.
Douching – Alters vaginal flora and may push bacteria into the upper genital tract.
Recent Gynecological Procedures – Insertion of an IUD, childbirth, or abortion can introduce bacteria.
Poor Menstrual Hygiene – May facilitate bacterial entry and infection.
Weakened Immune System – Reduces the body’s ability to fight off infections effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I use over-the-counter medicine to treat PID?
No. PID requires prescription antibiotics targeted to the specific bacteria. Over-the-counter pain relief may help with discomfort, but it does not treat the infection.
PID painful all the time?
Not necessarily. Pain can vary from mild and intermittent to severe and constant. Some women may have PID with no noticeable pain at all, which is why regular checkups are important.
How can I prevent PID?
Regular medical checkups, practicing good hygiene, avoiding douching, timely STI testing, and seeking prompt treatment for infections can help prevent PID.
Who is at risk for PID?
Women under 25 who are sexually active, those with a history of STIs or PID, and those with poor menstrual or sexual hygiene are at higher risk.
